I play Gran Turismo now since version 1 and also own all versions. Since yesterday (unfortunately) the Collector's Edition of GT5. The reason for the purchase was actually quite good version of GT5 Prologue. Let's talk about the positive things first: The handling at least the Premium Cars is actually implemented very well. There is every car drives markedly different and quite realistic. The graphics can be quite impressive, throws me but not to (the horrendous quality of shadows was already mentioned several times). The scope is also very ok, until you have unlocked all pass safely a few weeks or even months. BUT: In contrast to the Premium Cars to the standard cars driving (which are clearly in the majority) as if on rails. The tracks are partly 1: 1 taken from GT3, as well as most of the cars and their driving physics, the real innovations are there very manageable. Seriously: Who has desire, for the umpteenth time to unlock a dinky Celica from the year 99? The AI in my opinion is beneath contempt, opponents soft eg when braking do not contradict but crashing into unsharpened own vehicle, resulting immediately in a rotation, however if you even ramming an opponent, driving the next as if on rails. What annoys me most nearly, is available only in Premium Cars cockpit view, because you realize the loveless remake of the old versions. The car has been around for the latest GT3, the Interior would have to make new - is thus saved. One wonders really what Sony has worked in the felt 5 years delay so at stake? Individually animated blades of grass? So it is, unfortunately, with the damage model. I have now about 30 cars and not a single one kind of damage I had ever noticed any, not even in a collision with 250 cases in the wall ... What was not also taken from Prologue are penalty shots for abbreviating or ramming. If I had to be good. The cars from Prologue can not take it, even though that was announced. Likewise, I wonder what there is License tests if you so can unlock any racing series? The online mode is not (for me at least). Today was to be read mutatis mutandis in the news window of GT5: Unfortunately GT5 has problems because our servers are overloaded. Please disable the online connection to their PS3 to be able to play without any problems ... (in normal mode GT5, so no online race) Hello? Are you crazy ??? Is it for Sony really surprising that suddenly followed by the endless delays many of the hype and buy the thing and then want to play online yet? For Collector's Edition, I can only say the following: the APEX booklet is dispensed, it can be found very general theories to the automobile and its physical properties, a little history, and not even all route ideas (if one page per line with a 5-line text can call it that). A list of available cars in vain. The five downloadable cars are quite nice, but apart from the texture, I also believe in the normal game unlockable, one just has the advantage that you can versägen lame cucumber with a Lambo or Audi R8 at the very beginning in the first race ... Whether that's worth paying extra, everyone must decide for themselves. All in all, the whole thing seems to me like an unfinished version, I fear, there is again touched up with paid downloads from the store. The 3 stars out there sentmentalen reasons and for premium cars and their driving physics.
